Whether you like a lot of music in your movies, movies that just have a lot of music in them, or think Jack Black is funny, you’ve seen the movie School of Rock. If you have, actor Rivkah Reyes (they/them) just might be familiar. They played the cello player who took to bass in an instant, Katie. But, are they still rocking out? Let’s find out.
There were few phrases that were more identifiable in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s than “I see dead people.” Those words were uttered by 11 year-old Haley Joel Osment, in the film The Sixth Sense.
You might recognize her as the sweet, precocious youngest child in 7th Heaven. But what has Mackenzie Rosman been up to since it ended?
If you developed a sense of humor around 2004 there’s a high likelihood you watched the indie cult classic Napoleon Dynamite. Tina Majorino, playing lead love interest Deb, was an integral part of that film’s humor, with her awkward stance and monotone delivery perfectly embodying the neurodivergent teen in a rural community. While that was a defining role for her, she’s racked up a few more since then.
Joseph Mazzello probably isn’t a name you would recognize off-hand, but if you were anywhere near popular cinema since 1993 odds are you’ve seen his most popular role. Starring in the Steven Spielberg classic Jurassic Park at just ten years old. While he’s grown, he’s still running around Hollywood and you’ve probably seen him in some very popular projects.
Everyone has a different Michelle Trachtenberg character that springs to mind when hearing the actress’s name, whether it be her title role in Harriet the Spy, Vampire Slaying sister Dawn, or Ice Princess Casey. Whatever you’ve seen her in though, she’s always given it all in the performance and showed off massive talent in everything from comedy to drama, so why has she been mostly absent lately?
If there’s one iconic family that nearly everyone’s childhood has in common, it’s the Ingalls. Whether you read the books or watched the drama series, Little House on the Prairie likely takes up permanent residence somewhere in your memory. One member of the homesteading clan, Mary Ingalls, was best remembered for her tragic contraction of Scarlet fever, which left her blind.
Jonathan Lipnicki is most remembered for the breakout performance that stole the hearts of the world in Jerry Maguire. But what has he been doing since that role?
He was born in October of 1990 in Westlake Village, California to Joseph Lipnicki and Rhonda Rosen. They’re a proud Jewish family, and Jonathan is still very active in speaking out against antisemitism today.
Now here’s a story about a kid named Bobby. Bobby Brady to be exact, the youngest of the bunch! Mike Lookinland, who played little Bobby Brady during the original series run had an early jump on fame and every chance to capitalize on it but seemingly disappeared for the most part.
As the eldest Brady son, Barry Williams’ character epitomized the popular high school kid. Gifted in school, talented in sports, and known as the "the Casanova of Clinton Avenue," Greg could have let these things go to his head. But he didn’t, relentlessly doing the right thing, especially if his siblings were involved.
It’s hard to believe it’s been 30 years since Mara Wilson charmed audiences as Robin Williams’ precocious young daughter Natalie in the 1993 hit comedy Mrs. Doubtfire.
With her adorable smile and sharp comic timing, Wilson was one of the most popular child actors of the 1990s. But where has she been for the past couple decades?
Everyone agrees that Veruca Salt should have been given some of the Fizzy Lifting Drinks and set free like a drifting balloon, right? It’s impressive just how much of a terror Julia Dawn Cole made the character in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, especially considering how kind the actress is in real life. With acting chops like that, where did she go?
